Nietzsche’s Mythological Vision of History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Nietzsche’s Mythological Vision of History

Tuesday 15 October 2024 is the 180th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900), who was born in Röcken, in Saxony, then part of Prussia, on this day in 1844.

Nietzsche’s influence today equally extends to philosophy and popular culture, but in his time he was isolated, alone, and his books had few readers. His posthumous fame has made him not only a figure in history, but a figure of history, he himself embodying the very monumental history he placed alongside antiquarian and critical history. His critical history of historiography is a non-philosophy of history, but the mythology he constructed is a philosophically-informed vision of history.
